UPDATE 11/1/25: The “Green Croc” Dunk Low is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 7/12/25:
Nike continues to explore fresh textures with the Dunk Low, and this Fall 2025 release proves it. Introducing the “Crocodile” edition—an eye-catching twist on the classic low-top.

Covered entirely in faux crocodile leather, the upper sports a rich Carbon Green shade. It’s glossy and textured, making each panel feel unique. Suede overlays on the Swoosh and heel offer contrast, softening the bold look without taking away from it.

Matching green nylon hits the tongue and lining, while the sole keeps things clean and consistent. Gold embroidered Nike branding adds just the right amount of shine to the tongue and heel.

This women’s exclusive stands out for its materials, not just the colorway. While Dunk Lows are known for versatile wear, this version leans more fashion-forward. It’s something you’d build an outfit around—not just throw on.

Look for the Nike Dunk Low “Crocodile” to release November 1, 2025. It will drop at select Nike Sportswear stores and Nike.com.

If you’re into statement sneakers, this one deserves a spot in your rotation.

UPDATE 11/1/25: The “Black Croc” Dunks are now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 7/25/25:
Nike is still finding new ways to experiment with the Dunk Low as the silhouette nears its 40th Anniversary. After the recent “Green Croc” rendition, the brand is again turning up the flair in a more upscale direction with the upcoming Nike Dunk Low “Black Croc Skin” for Fall 2025.

The upcoming “Black Croc Skin” pairs come fully clad in black with the brand swapping out regular leather for croc-embossed faux leather on the upper. The Swooshes and heel tabs are executed in tonal suede for a matte contrast to the gloss while embroidered gold Nike branding is featured as a touch of refinement on the tongue and rear. The sole unit is fully black for a clean finish.

The Dunk may no longer be at the height of its hype but runs like this prove that Nike is still going hard in creative material usage. The croc print is aggressive but also luxurious making it a perfect fit for those wanting something to stand out without bright colors.

The detail on the “Green Croc” drop was already an interesting look but this black take may feel even more versatile for everyday wear.

The Nike Dunk Low “Black Croc” will release on November 1, 2025 via Nike Sportswear retail locations and Nike.com.

UPDATE 11/1/25: The Dunk Low GTX (Gore-Tex) “Black” colorway is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 8/22/25:
Nike is continuing the Dunk Low GTX all-weather line with the upcoming Nike Dunk Low GTX “Triple Black”. Waterproof leather panels and a Gore-Tex lined interior help the low keep up with the rain and more. Even the perforations at the toebox are sealed. Small details of Gore-Tex branding appear on the lateral of the shoe as well as on the Swoosh tag. The combination of features creates a sneaker you can rely on in weather or not, with a subdued look to fit stealthy rotations.

Nike has not forgotten that it has dabbled with Gore-Tex and the Dunk series before, and for a good reason. Over time, the line became a go-to series for sneakerheads that wanted something that could handle more wear and tear while not sacrificing design. The “Triple Black” colorway is just the newest addition to the collection, with the “Ceramic” colorway previously revealed as well as the “Light Crimson” pair that will arrive in late 2025/early 2026.

Its release also comes as the Dunk series nears the end of its 40th-anniversary celebrations, with 2025 seeing a good balance of retros and collabs. While the rotation is versatile enough on its own, the all-black finish is just what the fans ordered for this anniversary year. It’s the detail sneakerheads will recognize immediately.

The Nike Dunk Low GTX “Black” will release November 1, 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $150 USD.

UPDATE 11/1/25: You can buy the Gore-Tex Dunks now on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/29/25:
The Nike Dunk Low GTX “Light Bone/Mink Brown” combines a classic silhouette with a touch of weather-proof functionality.

Made with mink brown leather and light bone overlays, this Dunk features an array of earthy tones and sleek accents. The oversized Swoosh adds 3D texture, while archival Nike branding is stitched on the tongue and heel.

The standout detail here is the Gore-Tex lining. Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable material that will keep your feet warm and dry in less than ideal conditions. Ideal for a day-to-day upgrade, this Dunk offers added protection from the elements as an everyday sneaker. On the inside, you’ll find plush cushioning that’s built for comfort, while an abrasion-resistant rubber outsole adds durability and traction, echoing the silhouette’s basketball roots.

The Nike Dunk Low GTX “Light Bone/Mink Brown” will release November 1, 2025 for $155. Be sure to grab a pair on Nike.com and select retailers worldwide.

UPDATE 11/1/25: The Nike Dunk Low GTX “Wheat/Ceramic” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 7/28/25:
The Nike Dunk Low Gore-Tex “Wheat/Ceramic” will keep you fresh on rainy days and crisp autumn strolls. Functional without forsaking style, it offers waterproof GORE-TEX technology while still preserving its classic Dunk heritage.

White underlays and overlays combine ceramic orange and wheat brown leather. They form a warm autumnal colorway. Meanwhile, black Swooshes, laces, and outsoles provide contrast. Red accents to the tongue and heel branding bring a little added pop.

The two-tone midsole is wheat on the top and black on the bottom, providing some extra utilitarian ruggedness. Out on the side, a GORE-TEX badge tacks on further outdoor-ready details to the otherwise technical construction.

Echoes of previous Gore-Tex Dunks from Nike’s archives can be seen in this pair. But it almost feels more premium than its predecessors in its detailing. All together, the padded mesh tongue, inner lining, and red Nike branding fully round out the weatherproof yet fashionable design.

The Nike Dunk Low Gore-Tex “Wheat/Ceramic” will be available November 1, 2025 for $155 through Nike.com and select retailers.
